As such, we can't add # to our default perl build. If you want the option anyway, # just uncomment the lines below and rebuild perl. # # Update: while it's no longer considered experimental (and # yes, other vendors do ship threaded perl by default), enabling # threads causes a huge (>20%) performance hit, and I've seen # other reports of instability. A few things "need" perl threads # but usually that's simply because they were compiled against # a threaded libperl... not any real need. IMHO, shipping a # threaded perl by default would not be a good idea.
